Not bad...

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2003)

***Possible Spoilers***
The beginning of the film reminded me of both John Wyndham's Day of the Triffids, and the classic Twilight Zone episode 'Where is everybody?'. All the way through this movie was reminding me of other movies, including the recent Dog Soldiers.
The plot was pretty old hat, but the presentation made it entertaining enough. The acting was adequate, as was the cinematography. The leitmotif of the movie seemed to be the word, 'Hello' which began the main part of the feature, surfaced throughout, and ended it nicely.
I suppose the movie plays on peoples fears of a biological or chemical attack from Islamic extremists. The most horrific aspect of the movie was the attitude of the soldiers in the last part. They wanted to keep the female protagonists purely to rape them, which was far more horrifying than the zombies on speed.
All in all, you could do worse than this movie. There are better zombie flicks out there though. Romero's Living Dead trilogy (yeah, and on that note where is part IV of that George, Twilight Of The Dead?), any Fulcio zombie flick, and Bava's Demons and Demons II.
I give this movie 6 out of 10.
